Another Part of My Current Not Writing

 
Back in January/February, I started playing Warmachine, a tabletop fantasy wargame. In the confusion and chaos of waiting for and then having a baby, I funnelled a lot of creativity into my growing Cryx army. Here's my latest bad boy, Lich Lord Terminus:

I'm quite proud of how he turned out.
 
I think I'm getting a handle on how to expose the detail of the model while still steadfastly refusing to be "realistic" in my color scheme. When I first started Warmachine, I decided that I would avoid realisim. I would use a metallic, corroded gold paint scheme. Sort of like an old chess set. A radioactive, old chess set.
 
Over the months, I've experimented with different ways to paint the models (even using spraypaint for a while), though sticking with my original choice of colors. In the past few weeks, I simplified the painting process and figured out how to better integrate the green (called "Necrotite Green"). I like the green. It provides an "edge" and keeps the model from being boring.
 
Lich Lord Terminus, above, is the largest model I've painted and is, I think, one of the best I've painted–if I do say so myself.
 
If you're curious what the "studio"/standard paintjob for the model is:
 

 
I like mine better.
 
I expect to spend less time on the army and more time writing in the second half of September. Until then, I will still be working to get Gunwitch and GoSH1 ready to publish.
